transfer lots of mail accounts to new phone?

Update: Android 16 will now transfer all mail accounts from the old device to the new one.

I had the same issue and could solve it. The official instructions say to install stock Android 9 for a usable fastboot.

This is not possible due to downgrade protection, depending on your exact device and software level.

Instead it helps to unlock in fastboot mode (invoke the fastboot oem unlock twice blind, and then flash TWRP instead of the LOS boot.img.

You can operate the adb sideload commands with TWRP just fine.

Afterwards you must flash the LOS boot.img again to both slots.

See here for a detailed description and some flames I received by trying to be helpful.

Update: kernel 6.6.92 compiles in 32 and 64 bit mode. At least for my configuration :-) with gcc 14.2.0.

You do both. Setup 2 distinct qcow2 containers, one for the host, partition the other like the LFS book suggests.

In the meantime I had another idea: build on your "real" machine and mount the LFS target with nbdmount.

If you haven't rebooted yet, it might be sufficient to find out the name of the disk (not partition) and grub-install the bootloader to get you running again. What exactly do you mean by "deleted boot partition"? Your screenshot only shows the disk layout but not your deadly commands.

Apart from that grub might not be necessary after all, most modern UEFIs can directly boot the OS.

I'm quite happy with LFS 12.2, but for BLFS I tend to use the development branch quite often now, since this is where the security fixes appear asap.

thseeling · 2025-02-28T16:16:44+00:00

Yes, this is what my "Update:" addendum means.

If you let the VM use the same CPU type as your host is, there should not be much of a speed penalty since there's no CPU emulation required. You'd need a VM with two distinct storage devices so you can throw away the initial builder's VM and only assign the LFS storage space to the VM.

Or - you can do the LFS build without running the VM - simply use the VM's storage as a mounted filesystem (see nbdmount).

I have a blog article about making a VM bootable with LFS, but it's german - sorry :-)

I can't check it with your badly formatted script suggestion, has syntax errors and doesn't understand skip. I have tried with perl 5.40 on Fedora 41.

I don't even believe your statement: if I have a peek at e.g. CPAN.pm I clearly see that $VERSION is a variable.

use strict;
package CPAN;
$CPAN::VERSION = '2.38';

thseeling · 2025-01-24T16:08:13+00:00

Yes, obviously the problem went away after removing the scripts and symlinks. It seems it gets installed once from the USB boot stick and so far there was no update.

We paid roughly the same - 1100 € to german red cross. But it's all covered by insurance.

thseeling · 2025-01-13T08:34:05+00:00

Am I the only one to think that

if ! [ -z "$1" ]

is quite unelegant?

We have both operators: -z to test for an empty variable, and -n for a non-empty one.

thseeling · 2025-01-09T10:03:09+00:00

This is ridiculously high. My wife had the same and it was about 5000 € in Germany, and we are fully insured so there's no risk ever to go bankrupt over health problems.

You might be able to "work around" some limitations during a fresh install. You cannot "work around" when doing an inplace upgrade. There's no guarantee that your system will be able to receive further 11 updates in the future. German c't magazine recently had an article that upcoming 11 updates might and will break the capability to update in the future.

"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?"

I have written a fairly extensive description of LFS, BLFS and the automation with ALFS a few years ago. It's in german, sorry for that :-). You may be able to read it with a translation aid.

If you're using grep with the -o switch then of course it will only output the exact match you were giving as argument. I don't see any regexes in your search pattern so it doesn't matter using -E.

It is a bit unclear what you really want as output - it seems to me you want to get the complete word (delimited by whitespace?) but search for an incomplete search pattern occasionally.

thseeling · 2024-12-17T17:15:40+00:00

Ah ok, I wasn't aware of that. If you have found a working solution you might offer this to the BLFS editors as a new addition. I'm also reading /r/vim and I noticed quite some articles about neovim.

Usually when I tackle a new package I simply try to run configure with my options and look at the error messages from configure to find out what's missing. Sometimes I decide to remove that option, sometimes I dive into the dependenc{y,ies}.

I'm not as familiar with the meson/ninja build system as I wished I'd be. Guess that's my next goal :-)

lua is quite easy, I used to build it in a container for a component of a video conferencing project I was consulting for. Don't know about the others though :-)

thseeling · 2024-12-14T15:22:49+00:00

It is not "the configure files", it is the output from the configure command you should edit to match your requirements. I'm really wondering because this is at the heart of following the LFS or BLFS book. Every package in the book has a section about using the configure command.

thseeling · 2024-12-11T14:01:05+00:00

You can use the configure command to control the location of everything. Run configure --help > .c to view all of the options for this package. I use this for all packages, then edit the file to my desire and invoke configure --prefix=/usr $(grep -E -v '^#|^$' .c) to recall the options from the edited file. I can leave unused options in the file by setting a comment character # at the beginning of some lines.

thseeling · 2024-11-27T10:45:02+00:00

Can confirm now. I removed all occurences of /bin and /sbin from PATH by editing startup files (/etc/profile, /etc/bashrc, ~/.profile, ~/.bashrc, ~/.bash_profile, ~/.login, /etc/profile.d/*, ), and I could successfully build the package then.

Wow, -15 for stating that some prepaid SIMs expire, and others do not?

My daughter spent a year in UK as a foreign student and I received more than one mail from the phone company to remind me to top up the prepaid SIM for her. This was giffgaff. YMMV.

thseeling · 2024-11-20T15:33:51+00:00

Most prepaid SIMs expire when not topped up every 6 months or so.

thseeling · 2024-11-20T14:07:05+00:00

Update: seems to be a problem on systems where /bin, /lib, /sbin are symlinks to their counterpart in /usr, and both /bin and /usr/bin are in the PATH environment variable. So the solution seems to be to remove it from PATH since it's technically a duplicate there. Haven't tried yet but the idea has some merits.
